They need to make a plan with the aircon system of the rooms. ##### Johann Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marko 11 Apr 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Protea Hotel Kimberley, situated next to the famous Big Hole in Kimberley, South Africa. The hotel itself was everything I could have hoped for - comfortable and spacious rooms and stunning views of the Big Hole. The restaurant offered a delicious range of meals, while the bar was the perfect place to unwind with a refreshing drink. The hotel's location was the real highlight of the stay. The hotel has direct access to the Big Hole historical area through a small gate The museum, exhibitions, and viewing platform all provided a fascinating insight into the history of the mine. Overall, I would highly recommend the Protea Hotel Kimberley to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the area's rich cultural heritage. ##### Marko Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### AT 27 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Rooms were okay, but service was poor. Housekeeping only cleaned the room once. Didnt sweep the floor or clean the cups glasses. Only left 2 towels, whilst the room was a double room housing 4 people. While dining at the reataurant, the chicken was still raw when served. That after we waited more than an hour for our food, without any indication from the waiters that there will be delays. At check out the staff member had the nerve to acuse me of not paying my restaurant bill, which was not true as I paid the bill after dining even though the kids were served raw chicken. This speaks to the overall poor management of the facility. I will not stay at this establishment again and will not recommend it to anyone. Very disappointed. ##### AT Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hwee Tong 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean and comfortable ##### Hwee Tong Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### MAGALI 25 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pratique, confortable ##### MAGALI Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Samuel 12 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is at a unique place overlooking the Big Hole which I could see from my hotel room. ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shaleen 3 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Property located right at the historic Kimberly Big hole.

Amazing location overlooking the big hole. Staff are incredible...so friendly, professional and accommodating. Service is great. I was very disappointed in how cramped the rooms are...almost claustrophobic. It's a pity, as everything else was lovely. ##### Beverley Ann Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### … … ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Great location near The Big Hole. Hotel facilities clean & modern. Pleasant reception. Big disappointment was the restaurant with less than average food quality. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prudence 16 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Amazing ##### Prudence Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Etienne, Pretoria 29 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I checked in very late and the staff greeted me with a smile. Check in was smooth and the room extremely clean. ##### Etienne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hesmarie 25 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Awesome. Very nice ##### Hesmarie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Phil 21 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Disappointing response to Covid-19 I was very surprised that a hotel of this quality is not taking the Covid-19 epidemic seriously. Checking in, there was no hand sanitizer on the front desk or offered to guests as they entered the hotel. No temperature checks or questions from where guests had travelled within the last month. This is a hotel that has an international client base so it was not only disappointing to witness this behaviour but also highly irresponsible in the current climate ##### Phil Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hlabisa-Hotels-Rhino-Ridge-Safari-Lodge.h9401037.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
